Every person on every side knows it’s a grift. The only goal is to not be the one holding when everyone yells bullshit

When have they been wrong?

Seems fine to me

I think instead I will choose to both A) not install a rootkit on my desktop B) avoid an OS that handles passwords in plaintext

This is why gamers should reject kernel anti cheats. A single dev at a single company that requires one could read them as easily as any other file. I’m not exaggerating, unless I’m misinformed

Me when I’m not a professional with no understanding of his things actually works and I accidentally reinvent “computers insecure, avoid them at all costs for max cybersec”

OpenBSD can, objectively, do only a fraction of what Linux can. As a result, it is expected it will have only a fraction of vulnerabilities.

Yeah fair enough, good points all around.

Bias is situational; look at AP’s reporting of the Israel-Palestine conflict for an example of their obscene bias towards western interests. Bias should be assessed on a per-claim basis to avoid logical fallacies like ad hominem.

Here’s a good, neutral take on the unreliability of Uyghur related reporting in sources like the AP: https://www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStore.ashx?id=4767d3ce-8490-464f-8508-d8f3b7878808&subId=703775

Can you respond to this comment (https://reddthat.com/comment/26414066)? That was the original thread and I’m interested in your response.

Honestly just fine use computers at all, completely eliminate the remote attack vector. And only drink rain water since city water can be compromised.

Or, recognize this is a normal part of using software and have more than 1 thing between you and a breach

How much does your VPN cost?

Also, whatever Firefox puts out there is not gonna be slower than TOR which has 3x the encryption and routing overhead of a typical VPN and also has no SLA guarantees at all. There’s a reason a middle-ground exists between no tunnel and mega 3x tunnel, and there’s nothing wrong with saving a few bucks if all you want to do is not be as profitable to data aggregators

TL:DR; stop making shit up

I saw this and sound “holy shit” aloud. If this sketchy source is legit, this is probably pretty big. The stock market has been wobbly the last few days.

If you run it locally this would be fine. Mathematically the result would be more like a hash of your writing style; still unique but difficult to determine the origin, y’know?

No that sounds like a huge pain in the ass and I’ve never met someone that wanted to switch to Linux and wait a few days or more for a recommendation

The only Arch distros I know that are solid are Arch itself, Steam OS, and Cachy OS. The latter 2 have meaningful optimizations for their intended use which is really the only excuse for a new derivative IMO besides things like different release schedules.

Yeah cause when I instinctively click the Microsoft learn link below the Azure error it takes me to copilot instead of documentation.

I am not your lawyer and this is not legal advice for you or anyone who reads this.

Nextcloud encrypts data e2e, so your point there is misguided and not really relevant. You can’t be compelled to provide a password/decryption key as long as it doesn’t exist as physical evidence. This is why lawyers advise clients to use a PIN instead of face ID or fingerprints; biometrics, like all physical evidence, can be subpoenad.

Self hosting services like matrix or email is a bad idea if you don’t really understand what you’re doing, like many other things. If you keep you stuff updated and are intelligent in how you structure your network there’s not really anymore risk here than paying someone else to host it. If you keep you stack simple and follow best practices, code and configurations written by industry experts do most of the heavy lifting.

If he wants to try plasma just install the x11 version on fedora:

sudo dnf install plasma-workspace-x11

Eh fair enough
